sorry, but i cant find this photo interesting, I like the color tones though. Try a different angle, or capturing the landscape with the building as a foreground subject might help. if you intend to capture the building itself, try geting the whole structure in frame.. I'd like to see the entire building.

If this is near your house - definitely go back again but decide on an area of the building to shoot - try for early morning or late afternoon (golden hours). Try a few exposures or use Auto Bracketing and combine them for an HDR shot. I think the building has scope for a reat shot

I think the building has a lot of potential for a good photo, but I would try taking many shots from different angles. Also, try to get higher and also down low shooting up. I don't know if you can get inside the gate, but that would give you a lot more options.
